| Board of Directors Election Results and AGM Report
When the Music Nova Scotia Nominations and Election Committee put out the call this year for all interested members to submit nominations for the Board of Directors, 25 candidates registered. By far, that is the biggest roster of candidates Music Nova Scotia has seen and the depth and breadth of those candidates reflected the varied interests of the membership overall.
Now, the results are in! Nearly thirty percent of the Music Nova Scotia membership took part in the online vote for the Board of Directors Election to determine who would fill eight spots this year. That is the highest recorded voter turnout for a Board Election in the history of MNS, so thanks to the membership for taking part.
The board members elected this year are:
Andrea Dawson Thomas (incumbent)
Christine Buiteman
Hayward Parrott (incumbent)
Jamie Robinson (incumbent)
Jonny Stevens
Josh Hogan
Krista Keough
Waye Mason (incumbent)
They will join the existing board members: Brian Doherty (President), Louis Thomas (First Vice President), Bill Appleby (Second Vice President), Debbie Rockola (Secretary), Mike Campbell (Director), Troy Arseneault (Director) and Ian McKinnon (Director) to form the new Music Nova Scotia Board of Directors for 2010.
Congratulations to all 25 nominees in the election. Your participation reflects the generous level of enthusiasm and interest for Music Nova Scotia and its members.
